Practice in the right way to make every practice counts!

Learn how to practice well is essential to the development and success of every music student. Repeating bad habits, lack of focused attention, and the inability to extract specific issues and deal with them efficiently: these are challenges that students face in the practice. A practice coach can help eliminate these destructive habits and improve the student’s ability to practice with maximum efficiency.

A good practice coach can be an invaluable part of a serious music student’s progress. We hope you’ll take advantage of this unique opportunity to dramatically improve the productivity of your practice time ! 

Piano Practice Coaching:

• Provide feed back so that mistakes and bad habits will not be repeated during daily practice
• Guide the student to practice the hard part methodically
• Improve practice efficiency
• Make the practice session interesting and inspiring
